Aleppo Governor Mohammad Wahid Akkad said that some 200 trucks loaded with food, fruits, vegetables and other humanitarian supplies entered the city on Sunday, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported.

Akkad also said that the city’s oil stations will begin working on Monday and that many areas were supplied with water.

He added that the current problem of electricity shortages will be solved in the coming days.

Syria has been gripped by unrelenting militancy since March 2011. The Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey -- are said to be supporting the militants operating inside Syria.
